Your Favorite Kick-Back Shoes Just Got an Adorable Upgrade

And they're making the world a better place, too.

When it comes to weekend dressing, Toms signature slip-on kicks have become like second skin, and with the brand's generous mission of providing a pair of shoes to a child in need for every purchase, we don't even have to suffer through buyer's guilt every time we need a new pair...especially now.

As part of its Animals Initiative, Toms has just partnered up with the Virunga National Park (located in the Democratic Republic of Congo) to create the couldn't-be-cuter shoes you see above. Not only do they feature those charming gorillas, but they also have recyclable outsoles which allow you to send your kicks off to a reclamation center once you're done with them. Toms will continue its one-for-one model and will also donate a portion of all Animals Initiative purchases to the Virunga National Park. So much to feel good about!

The idea was sparked by Toms founder Blake Mycoskie's wife Heather (pictured above) and her love of animals. One example: Heather found a stray dog when she was a child and hid it in her home for about a week before her parents found out. Now, that compassion has spread to a larger scale, specifically to animals whose habitats are in jeopardy like the mountain gorillas living in the Virunga National Park. And that's just the beginning. Heather plans on expanding the initiative to help "all animals, land or sea. We are starting with endangered species but are excited to expand to help domestic animals as well."

So, clear a space in your shoe rack. These do-gooder kicks officially launch tomorrow and retail at $59—it'll be the best $59 you've spend in a long while, trust us.
